Here is what I have to send to my W (I may add in the bit about coming to see my kids on Thursday instead of Friday so that I can spend the afternoon with my D4 at her pre school):

Hi W, thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate your desire to sell our home so that you can purchase a new one for yourself. I do not want to stand in the way of that. I do however also need to plan my future which will include having the kids with me half of the time.

My main concern is that our children be allowed to spend time with each one of us in an equitable fashion. I would really like to hear your thoughts on my most recent communications regarding the proposed schedule for the children. What do you need from me for you to agree to sharing time and custody of our kids 50/50?

It has already been over a week since I've seen them and I am very much looking forward to seeing them again. I will be at D6's school to pick her up on Friday. D6 also has told me she needs new rubber boots so I will buy those for her and bring them this weekend.

Can you please let me know your thoughts on this schedule by the end of this week?
